10 Craft Ideas to do With Grateful Coloring Pages
Once those finished coloring pages start piling up, don't let them sit in a drawer—use these easy, budget-friendly crafts to transform your colorful gratitude art into meaningful keepsakes.
1. Daily Gratitude Jar
Cut out the most vibrant colored patterns and the word “Grateful” from your finished page and Mod Podge them onto a clean, empty glass jar. Cut the leftover blank margins of the coloring page into small paper strips. Place the strips next to the jar so your family can write daily blessings on them and slip them inside the beautifully decorated container.
2. “Grateful Heart” Headband
Measure and cut a thick strip of construction paper to fit around your child’s head, stapling the ends together to make a crown. Cut out a large heart shape featuring your colored patterns from the coloring page and glue it right to the front. Attach pipe cleaners to the sides, curling them at the top with little paper cutouts listing things they are thankful for.
3. Classroom Gratitude Tree
Draw a large, bare tree trunk on a sheet of brown poster board and hang it on the wall. Have a group of kids cut their finished coloring pages into leaf shapes, making sure the bright colors show on the front. On the plain back of each leaf, have them write one thing they are thankful for before gluing them to the branches to build a lush, colorful tree of thanks.
4. Thanksgiving Pennant Garland
Cut your colored pages into uniform triangles, ensuring the most beautiful colored sections and positive words are centered on each piece. Punch two holes in the top corners of each paper triangle. Thread a piece of rustic twine through the holes to create a festive, hand-colored banner to hang across your mantel for the holiday season.
5. Thankful Puppet Friends
Cut out individual characters, animals, or floral motifs from your completed coloring pages. Glue each cutout onto a sturdy popsicle stick to create simple hand puppets. Use these puppets to put on a living room play where the characters express appreciation for each other, teaching kids how to vocalize their thankfulness.
6. Origami Gratitude Fortune Teller
Fold your colored page into a classic paper “cootie catcher” so the vibrant colored designs decorate the outside. On the inside flaps, write eight different prompts, such as “Name a friend you are thankful for” or “Share a happy memory.” Play the game with family members to spark heartwarming conversations about thankfulness.
7. Blessing Table Place Cards
Fold small rectangles of heavy cardstock in half to create tented place cards for your Thanksgiving dinner table. Cut small decorative accents and letters from your colored pages to glue onto the front of each card. Write your guests' names next to the colorful accents to give everyone a personalized reminder of the grateful theme of the meal.
8. Spin-a-Thanks Wheel
Cut a large circle out of cardboard and an identical circle out of your colored page, then cut a single “pie slice” wedge out of the colored circle. Join them together in the center with a brass paper fastener (brad). Write different categories of thanks—like “People,” “Places,” and “Foods”—on the bottom cardboard circle so they are revealed as you spin the colored wheel.
9. “My Book of Thanks” Journal Cover
Wrap the cover of a cheap composition notebook in solid-colored construction paper. Carefully cut out the main “Grateful” text and finest details from your coloring page and glue them to the front as a personalized title plate. Use this custom-covered notebook as a daily journal to write down three things you are thankful for every night.
10. Blessings Breeze Mobile
Find a sturdy branch from the yard and wrap it in colorful yarn. Cut various shapes like stars, hearts, and clouds out of your colored pages, writing a specific personal blessing on the blank back of each piece. Tie the shapes to the branch using different lengths of yarn, then hang it near a window where the breeze can gently spin your blessings.
